High ressure PS hose help

Replaced hose today but now car makes awful noise whenever I turn the wheel (even noisier at locks right\left limit). Steering is a bit harder than normal but not as hard as no PS at all and wheel wants to return to center very strongly Drove a few miles and still happening. Any suggestion?

About the noise. If you replaced the hose with a non-dealer hose it will more than likely make noise. Mine does the same thing. The rest of the issues may be fine or maybe not. If the hose is installed correctly, the fluid is topped off to the correct level, and there are no leaks then it's more than likely fine.

I don't think it should make that much noise (people 50m away can hear) VERY loud and wheel isn't right during the bleed the resivor only went down like 10-20% is that normal or is fluid stuck some how. Was cheap Hose (~$38) so not sure if hose or install issue

What kind of stuff did you use to refill/replace the fluid? You are supposed to use Dexron auto trans oil. Traditional power steering fluid will make it buzz.
